does ring of mind shielding protect from alignment-based spells?

[Hypersmurf]

In D&D, alignment is not just a state-of-mind, it's a force that exists independently, like whether or not something is magic. You can hide the +1 sword's aura with nondetection or similar, but the sword is magic regardless.

Good example. Even though Detect Magic says "Nup, not magical!", you still can't move it with Mage Hand...
